Caregiver Action Network is proud to announce a dynamic new partnership with Psych Congress. This partnership will not only bring family caregivers’ voices to the table and elevate them to providers and clinicians, but will help to fulfill CAN’s mission of promoting resourcefulness and respect for the more than 90 million family caregivers across the country.
CAN would like to commend President Biden for his Executive Order to promote federal funding for women’s health research—with a focus on diseases and conditions that disproportionately affect women. One of the areas for increased research is women’s health after menopause and the diseases that are more prevalent in women in mid-life such as heart disease and osteoporosis.
